kaun si duniya mein hun kis ki nigahbani mein hun
zindagi hai sakht mushkil phir bhi aasani mein hun

chand hai pani mein ya bhule hue chehre ka aks
sahil-e-dariya pe dekho main bhi hairani mein hun

qatra-e-shabnam ke bhi ehsan yaad aane lage
hont sukhe ja rahe hain jab se main pani mein hun

bhuli-bisri yaad ek aai hai mere dil ke pas
main bhi goya aaj kal is dil ki darbani mein hun

ai khizan kuchh der ko ye fasl-e-gul jine to de
aaj-kal masruf main bhi chaak-damani mein hun
